Dancing? Talking? Creating?
In the 1970s, Trisha Brown and Deborah Hay proposed three “historic” performances that undeniably belong to the history of dance. In which claims, critical approaches, or simple paths of experimentation, did these proposals operate? What about today? Which links between words and movements?
